Question

Carter can swim 25 yards of freestyle in 19 seconds what is his speed in words per second?

Answer 1

25/19 = 1.32 (one point three two) yds per second

Answer 2

1.32 yards per second.

Explanation:

We have been given that Carter can swim 25 yards of freestyle in 19 seconds. We are asked to find Carter's speed in yards per second.

To find Carter's speed in yards per second, we will divide total distance by total time taken as:

`\text{Carter's speed in yards per second}=\frac{25\text{ yards}}{\text{ 19 seconds}}`

`\text{Carter's speed in yards per second}=\frac{1.31578947\text{ yards}}{\text{seconds}}`

`\text{Carter's speed in yards per second}\approx \frac{1.32\text{ yards}}{\text{seconds}}`

Therefore, Carter's speed is approximately 1.32 yards per second.
